在选择避孕方法时，妇女的决定是基于她们对方法相关结果实现的主观期望。结果包括怀孕和感染性传播疾病（STD）。我将关于概率期望的创新数据与观察到的避孕选择相结合，以估计生育控制选择的随机实用模型。期望数据的可用性对于从信念中识别偏好至关重要。有效性、预防性传播疾病和伴侣的反对是决定过程中最重要的因素。推导出的期望和推断出的偏好参数用于模拟各种政策的影响。
When choosing a contraception method, women base their decisions on their subjective expectations about the realizations of method-related outcomes. Examples of outcomes include getting pregnant and contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD). I combine innovative data on probabilistic expectations with observed contraceptive choices to estimate a random utility model of birth control choice. The availability of expectations data is essential to identify preferences from beliefs. Effectiveness, protection against STDs, and partner's disapproval are found to be the most important factors in the decision process. The elicited expectations and inferred preference parameters are used to simulate the impact of various policies.
